Supporting RX-Snake
So you're thinking, gosh I'd just love to support this project but I just don't know how. Well wait no more, we'd be delighted to take your money or other valuables. :thumbs_up:
MONEY - METHOD 1: PM me and I'll tell you how 100% of all funds received will go to the project; not hookers and blow. Truly any amount is appreciated. PARTS Maybe you don't have spare cash, but say you have some old parts you aren't using, and aren't ever going to use and wouldn't mind just getting rid of. Well, why not donate them to us and we'll sell them and use the proceeds on the project car. If you're interested in this possibility, please PM me. SPONSORSHIP Hall Fabrication & Racing for providing a Renagate Sequential Shifter If you are a business entity and you wish to sponsor this project, PM me and we can discuss possibilities. GIVING CREDIT (Updated as the project goes along) Parts and Labor - joedls donated the Ford SBF long block, Top Loader and B&M 174 blower. - 94cobra69ss396 built the cage, and worked on the engine and trans mount, as well as the engine itself - kdracer73 donated a brand new electric fan - a colleague of mine at work donated a GrannySpeed engine craddle and trans mount for SBC and T5 Money I am generally underwriting this project and guarantee it will be completed. Donations of money, etc., help the project go quickly and raise the level of the project. In other words, I'm not using it to save my money, but to raise the performance of the project as a whole. ================================================== ============= FULL DISCLOSURE - LEGAL STUFF (Boring, you can just skip this and give us stuff. :)) Motorgen.com is organized as a general partnership, not an LLC or other corporate entity. Therefore, it cannot easily own property, like a car. This project car is registered to me personally. If while owning the car we become a corporate entity the car will be transferred as an asset to Motorgen.com. The purpose of RX-Snake and any future projects is to have fun with users and to promote the mission of the site. They will not be held forever. When it is sold, 100% of the proceeds will roll forward into the next project. Any user who donates a major component like an engine system or driveline, can negotiate for its return prior to sale. This gets a bit complicated because of additions and modifications, but we can work it out as gentlemen. Q: Is RX-Snake a "club car"? A: Yes and No. Yes, it is part of the intent that any member who makes a major contribution in money, parts and/or labor to the project AND is able to drive a sub 11 second car safely may do so when we take it out to events. Major contributors like joedls and 94cobrass396 (so far) can even take it out and campaign it on their own if they wish. No, if you come out for a day and turn a couple bolts or if the fastest car you've driven is an accord, chances are you won't be driving it. This seems fair and safe to me. Q: If I qualify to drive it, do I have to sign a waiver? A: Hell yes! Nuff said. |

Thanks big2bird
I had come to that place in my garage life where i needed to upgrade the electrical. To do this properly at a professional level with a real electrician would cost some scratch. In steps big2bird wit a serious value in kind donation to the project that saves me some out of pocket that I can put towards the project. He'll also be the electrical guru on the car itself. Thanks again Jeff.
Some pics of the work we did today. We went up and over with the big stuff. I've now got a gen-yu-ain 100 amp panel in the garage. That's what my hosue was before the remodel a couple years ago. A pretty panel with lots of room to grow. This is what kicked this project off. The compressor I had stopped compressing air, which is kind of a bummer on an air compressor. BRUTAL64 hooked me with a buddy that was selling this compressor for a really really good price. I'm gonna take the stickers off, put a Nuke symbal on it and stencil in EARL in large letters. Seems like an Earl to me. |

We should come up with a name or slogan for Sean. Something like "Sean the 14 second wonder" or "Sean, adding 3 seconds to any cars 1/4 mile." We can let him drive the car cause I don't think it'll get above a hundred with him behind the wheel.

Hey kids,
Well, I'm not going to let a little thing like a global economic meltdown slow me down anymore than I have to. enkei is selling any and everything we can that was taken off the car, but I've got some new ideas. 1 - Recycling If any of you keep bottles and cans and put them in the big green can for the gubment to take. Please consider setting them aside. Make a big pile and I'll come pick them up. I'll take anything because I go to a full recycling center. So: - bottles (with CA Redemption value) - cans - plastics, especially water bottles - scrap metals including iron - insulated copper wire scraps Sadly my vast collection of empty hard liqour bottles weren't worth anything, but other than that. If you're willing and able to set aside recyclables, PM me. |

I am sure the Anaheim Fire Dept appreciates rear access to my home again. :smack:Thanks.:thumbs_up::thumbs_up: |

Depending on what it comes out to, I can kick a touch on top and I'll pass the blower back to you for re-fab of the bearing plate by your welder buddy. |
My girlfriend, Shannon, is going to reinstitute her recyling program at her work. Should net a few bags for cans a month.

If my capitalist pig adventures pan out in the next year I'll be in a much, much better position, we're talking maybe 10s of dollars of spending money. :smack: If not, RX-Snake will be going up on cinder blocks in the park down the street and we'll be sleeping in it. It's stripped so it's pretty spacious now. |
